I'll kick this thread. It'd be a Remington 700. Probably a VSSF in .308. Topped with a Leupold VariX-III 3.5-10X40 LRT.

RE: Siting in scope

If you have a good scope, mounted correctly, and you have a good hold, changing windage should not change elevation at all. Check to make sure your base and ring screws are all tight. Something...

RE: Versatile Cartridge w/ Benchrest Accuracy?

You won't notice much difference in the recoil between the .308 and .30-06 due to the cartridge itself. The .308 was designed to replicate the ballistics of the original .30-06 in a shorter...
